Mark BlankenbakerSeptember 27, 2023

The University of Louisville men’s basketball team’s full 2023-24 schedule is now available following the release of the ACC slate Tuesday by the conference.

Seven Saturday home games and three straight home contests to finish the season highlight the league schedule, which begins Dec. 3 on the road at Virginia Tech.

Louisville’s non-conference schedule, which includes 10 home games, was released earlier this month. The full schedule features 20 games in the KFC Yum! Center and can be viewed here online or as a printable PDF.

The Dec. 3 trip to Virginia Tech is the lone conference game before the new year for the Cardinals, who will play five of their first seven ACC games away from the KFC Yum! Center.

After closing non-conference play Dec. 21 against Kentucky, Louisville fully returns to ACC action at Virginia on Jan. 3.

The Cardinals host Pitt on Jan. 6, travel to Miami on Jan. 10, then welcome NC State on Jan. 13 before a road swing to North Carolina (Jan. 17) and Wake Forest (Jan. 20).

UofL returns home for back-to-back games against Duke (Jan. 23) and Virginia (Jan. 27). That’s followed by a visit to Clemson on Jan. 30, a home contest against Florida State on Feb. 3, a trip to Syracuse on Feb. 7 and another home tilt vs. Georgia Tech on Feb. 10.

The Cardinals play consecutive road games at Boston College (Feb. 13) and Pitt (Feb. 17). A home game against Notre Dame (Feb. 21) and a road trip to Duke on Feb. 28 set up three final home games to round out the schedule.

Louisville will welcome Syracuse on March 2, Virginia Tech on March 5, and finally Boston College on March 9 for Senior Day.

The ACC Tournament is set for March 12-16 in Washington, D.C.

The ACC also released TV designations and tip times for most of the Cardinals’ schedule Tuesday.
